In the 60's, my friends and I would stick out our thumbs and travel all over the place. We never had to wait more than a couple of minutes to get a ride. It was actually a social thing and we met some very interesting people. I had a Ford van and would ride around with no other purpose than to pick up hitchhikers. They were everywhere.

The times have certainly changed and helicopter parents do their children no favors.

I remember. Had an old VW bus and my buddies and I would drive around and do the same. I remember hitching home from college once, only about 80 miles, but I made it in 3 rides. When's the last time you saw someone hitch hiking? Ya, I can't remember either. I know we're not 20 anymore but the world's a lot scarier place.
